I have the following problem.
Since yesterday I found out that my Root partition is running full with unknown data.
Yesterday I already removed a 5.8 Gb log file, but the problem is returning.
I think the problem occured after a hard reboot I had to do after a total freeze of Mint13 Mate
On every boot or reboot there's less diskspace left and according to fstab
the Root partition is read-only:
- marcel@AMD2800 /media $ cat /etc/fstab

Already tried all the possible options in Recovery mode, like clean, fsck and
the command "mount -n -o remount,rw /", but I'm out of ideas right now.
Anyone a solution for my problem?
TIA

Update:
After looking around at the Ubuntu forum I found out that the
logfile I deleted yesterday appeared in
/root/.local/share/Trash/files.
I opened the folder as administrator, but when I try to delete the
file it appears again after a few seconds.
The name of the file is uvcdynctrl-udev.2.2.2.log, but there is
more to delete in this folder.
Guess it has to do with Root(/) being read-only.
